[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harkadenn:
Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.

It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.

I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1_dZZeY&list=PLIB9nMQ3IBuXuTz3PQJb3AMT1POhpYeXG

I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.

I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.

I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.

What is my solution?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Your question should be in q/a section but make sure you know which s3 you have. I have the 9305 & there are like 4 different versions out there.

Second the easiest way to root and have fun with this phone is to download the all in one tool from the original dev section. It has everything u need in one package.

Have fun! I had the one x and this is tens times better in a million ways!!

I have a note 2 with united arab emairates and unfortunately 4.1.2 is still not available in my region. Can someone guide me how to update firmware from a different region or give me link so i can learn how to do it properly. I want to update it before i root my device. Also i have read some threads in the forum that some 4.1.2 build have some battery draining issues. What build of 4.1.2 is a stable version? Which region does not affect the battery life so much. Sorry for the noob question as im new to android
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
I use mda6 Turkish Rom no battery drain issues. I get about 24 hours with 8 hours screen time. Download it from sam mbiles.com and flash using odin for pc pda mode. Make sure you have plenty of battery and kies is not running at the backfround on your pc. There are loads of threads about this. On android threads there is a fantastic guide by Dr. Ketan you can use the search box to locate them.

[Ubuntu Touch General] juicyjones:
I thought there might be a few people who have Macs with questions who'd like to get a quick express guide to getting up and running with Ubuntu Touch on their phone. This isn't that different than flashing your ROM and in fact is the same procedure on linux or windows except the adb and fastboot bins come from somewhere else.

* If you don't already have it, install ADB and Fastboot

http://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/

* Download the five images files for your device from Ubuntu

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/

CODENAMES

Galaxy Nexus - maguro

Nexus 4 - mako

Nexus 7 - grouper

Nexus 10 - manta
​

quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+CODENAME.img

quantal-preinstalled-recovery-armel+CODENAME.img

quantal-preinstalled-system-armel+CODENAME.img

quantal-preinstalled-armel+CODENAME.img

All Phones need this main image

quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.img

* Plug in your phone and open a terminal to the folder where you saved the images. Unlock your phone if it's not already.

fastboot oem unlock

* Power your device down and enter fastboot by holding both volume buttons and the power button until the phone comes on.

* In fastboot, enter the following commands in the terminal:

Be sure to replace CODENAME with your device's code name.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-quantal-preinstalled-armel+CODENAME.img
fastboot flash system quantal-preinstalled-system-armel+CODENAME.img
fastboot flash boot quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+CODENAME.img

* Use the volume keys to choose recovery and press the power button

* Enter the following command in the terminal:

adb sideload quantal-preinstalled-armel+CODENAME.zip

Wait for the sideload to finish.

If you see the message “fixing fs_size in crypto footer”, it’s finished.

From the main menu choose "Advanced" and "Reboot" to recovery.

When the phone has rebooted back to recovery, execute the following command in the terminal:

adb sideload quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip”

When the sideload is finished, restart the device.

Now you're running Ubuntu. :)

Thank you so much, I did it with linux. Just add a couple of things;

To fastboot mode you just need volum down botton.

I had error with adb sideload (never before flashing android roms), but I solve executing "adb usb" just before adb sideload, in both cases (maybe is a problem with the last recovery...)
[Ubuntu Touch General] DownloaderZ:
I also got the error: closed message

To fix first do ADB Devices to ensure that your system in online then in the recovery screen on your device select 'INSTALL ZIP FROM SIDELOAD' and reexecute the command in terminal

[General Topics] NoNRG:
I saved a good amount of money by switching to Ting, so I thought I would spread the word to all of you. If you use a large amount of data / minutes / texts, then you may not save money, but checking is worthwhile. Compare your average usage on your current service to the pricing table at the link below.

https://ting.com/plans

I went from paying $88 a month at Sprint, to $33 a month at Ting. Ting allows users to bring Sprint devices to their service, making the switch kind of easy. I brought over my Samsung G2 Epic 4G Touch. The following devices are currently supported:

Samsung Nexus S

HTC EVO 4G (A9292)

HTC EVO 3D (X515C)

HTC EVO Shift (A7373)

Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch (SPHD710)

Samsung Epic 4G (SPH-D700)

LG Optimus S (LS670)

Motorola Photon 4G (MB855)

Ting uses the same towers as Sprint, so service should be comparable if you are transitioning from Sprint. My service actually seemed to get better in my area.

Please use my referral link if you are making the switch (saves you $25):

https://zooqns67q1.ting.com/

Don't hesitate to ask questions about my experience with the transition.

Hey all, I've been running CM10 on my One X for a while and have had some issues. I'm stuck on a nightly from about 6 weeks ago because every time I update to a newer nightly the wifi stops working. The version I'm on works ok, but the camera is often laggy and sometimes causes the phone to lock up and sometimes the actual phone app stops responding. I also recently tried to update to the CM10.1 nightly but that went rather badly (would not boot) and I had to go back to my safe nightly.

Does any have suggestions on a stable, fast, non sense/close to stock JB rom?

(Moved from HTC One X Thread)

Hi, I tried to find all the information I could about this subject, but everything leads me to the One X, no One X+.

I just bought a new HTC One X+ here in Mexico but it came with some kind of version for Taiwan only. I'm wondering if there is a way to install it a stock rom from US or America in general.

It works as expected, is just there are some weird language and text options, also I don't want to have region troubles with apps and updates.

I'm a totally ignorant on this, so I'm not sure if it's exactly a ROM I need for this, or even root access.

A huge thanks in advance.

I think you device is Taiwan international..so it support English...for the US version is not the same...it is because hardware different..so if u put us version than u most likely brick...so before you do anything...check your cid...what us your cid?

Hello guys im new to the forum.

I use stock unrooted 4.1.2 JB on my I8190 but I am a little bit disappointed because it slows down sometimes and I'm willing to install Faria's [ROMS][JZ054K.I9190.XXAMA1][4.1.2-Jelly-bean] [26.01.2013] V5.1.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074514

I'd like to ask some basic questions:

1. Is there any step by step guide?

2. Will I be able to restore my stock 4.1.2 and all apps if I dont like it or decide to go for further official upadets?

3. Can I download official firmware via OTA or KIES in the future?

4. Will I lose my warranty?

5. I need to be sure that I will not lose any of my preinstalled apps, I am busy lately and browsing play store consumes time.

I used to 'play' a little with my old Motorola Milestone so I was jumping between custom roms. Have some experience.

I'd really appreciate if somebody helped me.

Cheers.

1. Its availabe on faria's thread only, under how to flash section

2. You can always revert everything back. Refer this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2159660 Thanks to samersh72

3. With Faria's Rom 5.1 i dont think update through kies is possible. But the Rom status is official. You can flash the update or try OTA.

4. Play with your device at your risk. Make sure you follow correct steps. Learn more before you try. Warranty can be gained by reverting everything.

Thanks to Chainfire(TriangleAway),Faria,Benzonator,Shaan,Infected,Tyson and all S3 mini developers for making it possible.

5. Roms have un-necessary apps removed. Remember to take backup of everything in yo device before proceeding for anything. For missing apps, always playstore or restore ya backup :):)

Hi Trebuchet is the launcher that goes with cm10 it seems you have a problem with this opening:crying:You can do a few things obviously try to re-install but also you can install a new launcher.

If you get a copy of any launcher/home apk place this in your flashtool folder which is located windows/flashtool/custom/apps then connect your phone to computer you can do this while switched on wait for flashtool to connect to your phone might take a minute or two when it say's root access allowed then go to install apk installer (Thats the one with a arrow pointing to the right) follow instruction's and flashtool will install a new home/launcher for you (reboot).Once installed you may keep getting error message on the faulty trebuchet just uninstall that with a root explorer in system apps.

Of course you can alway's try to install cm10 again;)

Thanks in advance,

Do I need the prime version of nova launcher for backup and restore capabilities?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
some recoveries, older versions for the most part, tend to put your files into a deeper level on your internal memory.

Example : /storage/emulated/0 becomes /storage/emulated/0/0

Check to see if this is the case, and if so move your files to the top level (/storage/emulated/0) and see if that corrects your problem.

Let us know if it works or if this is not the case so we can troubleshoot further. =)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
No, you do not need the prime version. The backup and restore feature comes standard with the free version of the app. I have used both nova and apex to perform backup and restores and I haven't paid for either launcher.

It's possible your backup got corrupted some how. To find out if its the backup files or the app, try the following:

1.) Make a current backup of what you have on the screen.

2.) Make some changes to the settings / screen.

3.) Restore your newly made backup.

Report back and let me know if this works. This will allow us to at least rule out an issue with the app itself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colemac:
So the restore worked. Changed some icons folder structure etc and it worked.....

So perhaps I am not putting file that I saved to external SD in the right spot on internal.

Appreciate the help. I would like to get a solution since all my icons are a cluster f#%$ now....

Thanks in advance ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
The original backup file should be placed wherever your new backup file was created. In other words, take the *.novabackup and place it in the same directory as the backup you just created. The path for nova backups should be /data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup

If you do this and nova still doesn't read it, then there is a problem with the original backup. If that is the case, the file is corrupted and cannot be fixed.

I just attempted to backup, wipe my phone, flash a ROM, and restore using the same backup without issue by placing my backed up file in the path above. Its not nova, its definitely something with your backup file.

Also, make sure you didn't change the name or extension of the file. It should be named *.novabackup where * is the original name you chose for this backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colemac:
Could I change name of another one so I know its the right locatin.?
